Category Archives: 18. Dining Out

We stopped by the Voodoo grill for lunch on the Saturday of the Sailfest Fireworks, July 2015. There was a sign on the door that said they would be closed that night so that their staff could attend the festivities. Wish the places I worked appreciated family time like they did.

Our grandson ordered the Mac N’ Cheese with Fries $5.50

Nice sized portion and lots of flavor. My only complaint about his meal was the crock that the Mac N Cheese was served in was blazing hot! We had to ask for another plate to scoop it out so he didn’t get burned on it.

Ed ordered the Southwestern Wrap $10.95 with a side of slaw

I ordered the VooDoo Crispy Chicken Wrap $10.95 with side of onion rings

Meals and service were good.

If you can find on-street parking, grab it! If not, there is a pay parking lot across the street. Fair in price so take a walk downtown to work off your meal and watch the drawbridge go up while you enjoy an ice cream cone from one of the local shops.

We happened upon this restaurant because the Thai restaurant we normally go to was closed for the day.

The building doesn’t look like much from the outside but as soon as you walk in, it is a completely different story! Sushi bar on the right and dining room on the left. We were instantly greeted and sat at a very nice table. There were 2 other people in the restaurant that were focused on their meals! Our server brought us menus and water right away. Soft music in the back ground and a comfortable temperature to relax and eat to since it was wicked hot outside!

Ed had the Thai Salad $5.95
Fresh romaine lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber, and carrot served with house Thai Diner Dressing. They also brought a side of the house peanut sauce for it.

Staff is friendly and you can watch them cook your food since they cook it in the same room!

First Visit

We both started with the Thai Salad $4

Menu describes salad as having Lettuce, tomato, carrots, bean sprout, cucumber and onion served with peanut dressing. By looking at the photo we took, it seems to be missing a few items. It was a basic no frills salad. It had fresh ingredients, but was not as described.

Our grandson ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken $9

Menu describes this as having chicken, egg, pineapple, cashew nut, scallion and curry powder. Photo also does not match menu description. The dish was good, but again, not as described.

I ordered the Drunken Noodle with Chicken $7

Spicy broad noodles, chicken, egg, basil, broccoli, tomato, bell pepper onion and chili. This was good. Lots of flavor and I would order it again.

Ed ordered the Pad Prik Khing $9

String bean, chicken, red bell pepper, lime leave with prik khing curry paste. This was served with a side of Jasmine Rice. This dish had some kick and he enjoyed it.

For dessert we split an order of fried Banana Rolls.

Second Visit

Ed started with the Thai Salad $4

Lettuce, tomato, carrots, bean sprout, cucumber and onion served with peanut dressing. Again, salad did not come as described in menu.

I skipped the salad and started with the Spring Rolls $4

Carrot, cabbage, vermicelli, celery served with a plum sauce. You are served 3 rolls cut in half. They were ok and I would order them again

For his meal, Ed ordered the Prik Prow (Chili Paste) with Chicken $9

Onion, bell pepper, cashew nut and chili paste. This had some kick to it and he enjoyed it. Said he would order it again.

I had the Mus Sa Man Curry with chicken $7

Sweet and Sour thick (sauce with) curry with onion, carrot, peanut and potato. This was ok. If we go back I would skip this and try something else.

Both of our meals were served with Jasmine Rice.

We didn’t order dessert this time.

I suggest you call before you plan on going. The last time we went for lunch, they were closed for the day and we ended up going to another Thai restaurant.

Third Visit

This time Ed went without me. He was working in the area and ran in for a quick lunch.

Ed started with the Thai Salad $4

For his meal, Ed ordered the Prik Prow (Chili Paste) with Chicken $9

He ordered this in our last visit and wanted to try it again. Unfortunately, this time it came with Shrimp when he had ordered it with Chicken. Ed is not allergic to Shrimp and ate the meal as it was served. This could have been a deadly mistake for anyone that is allergic to Shrimp.

This will be our last visit to Thai on Main. My suggestion to anyone eating here, inspect the food you are served and make sure it is what you ordered.

I ordered the Carnitas Nachos with bbq pulled pork $8.48. They were on special that night. Menu said it was served with sour cream. It was not brought with our meal and it took a while for the waitress to return to our table so I could ask for it. She said it is served on request. (Not what the menu stated) Could have used a bit more pulled pork but overall it tasted good. I would order it again.

We started with Brew Pub Pretzels & Beer Cheese Dip. $7.99 Came with 4 pretzel sticks and 2 dipping sauces. They were ok. Now that we had them, we can cross them off the list and order something different next time.

Ed ordered the 12oz New York Strip. $17.99 He ordered it medium and it came out medium well. It would have been much better if it had come out as he ordered. Vegetables were good and mashed potatoes were very good!

I had the Appetizer Sampler for my meal. $14.99 I had my wing sauce as Honey BBQ. Its my favorite. This was pretty much as is, no frills. But I liked it! Brought home about half of it. It warmed up well for a snack tonight.

Overall, it was a very nice lunch and I had great company to enjoy it with!
